Here he is looking at all those nasty people who don't believe in him...
Great chart—shows the wackiness of the economy as well as inflation.
Maybe joe just needs to appointed commie Harris as empty shelves czar.
All great points. As you say, not only the skills, but the work ethic of America’s labor force is rapidly deteriorating. Mainly because the desire to succeed just isn’t there in the new generation, not is the desire to continue to work still there in the older generation.
The country just seems destined to self implode, and people are punching out of reality. They’d rather just not have anything, but peace and quiet, than have to grind over the scraps. So many are just retreating into their shells.
Unfortunately, if it continues, this will ultimately lead to our submission to the tyrants that want to rule us all. They’ll just keep tightening those regulations, and mandates, and penalties, if we let them.
If only I could find a meme of an Asian Mr. Burns rubbing his hands together saying “excellent”!
Thats how I picture the Chinese government right now.
“The demoralization process in the United States is basically completed already. For the last twenty-five years, actually it’s over-fulfilled because the demoralization now reaches such areas where previously not even comrade Andropov and all his experts would even dream of such a tremendous success. Most of it is done by Americans to Americans thanks to lack of moral standards. As I mentioned before exposure to true information does not matter anymore. A person who was demoralized is unable to assess true information. The facts tell nothing to him. Even if I shower him with information, with authentic proof, with documents, with pictures. Even if I take him by force to the Soviet Union and show him concentration camp he will refuse to believe it until he is going to receive a kick in his fat bottom. When the military boot crashes his, then he will understand, but not before that. That’s the tragic of the situation of demoralization.”
Yuri Bezmenov, KGB defector, 1984
Water, saltines, cheese. I’m good. :-)
The fix for this is a new government top to bottom with the Constitution as written and a “rule of law”. Won’t happen though as power corrupts.
See #45.
What will happen instead is the Biden Regime will appoint a "Supply Chain Czar".
I used to travel to post-communist Russia in the early 90s; friends would tell me that their stores would be mostly empty and then a shipment of one or two things would come in with the resultant long line. The “elites” on the other hand, had “special” stores only for themselves and their families where they could buy western specialties; these stores were not open to the general public. So our “elites” are a bunch of Capitol Hill types who will tell us that its tough that there are shortages and the prices are sky high while they will have the best of everything. Seems very similar.
Easy fix for that. Interstate truck exemption by the feds due to national security interests. Most trucks hauling from ports are Tier 4 compliant anyway. The bottle neck is the Longshoremen.
California needs to be eliminated as an entry port for containers going forward. If they won’t allow trucks to take the containers, California needs to be out of the supply chain.
I've been wondering why this hasn't been done already. There must be a reason....?
They’re sitting at home, apparently. Either retired, found easier jobs, living off the dole, possibly scared of covid, lots of reasons apparently. Some may come back, if their salaries go up, which they are now. But some aren’t, and there’s not a large pipeline of new people wanting to work that hard, either.
OK so the ships are privately owned, the goods are privately owned, the ports are privately owned, the trucking companies are privately owned, and the stores are privately owned. What exactly was the government supposed to do about this?
